Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Fascism is essentially militarized-narcissism.
THAT is the true-heart of it.
Gender-apartheid, as Malala Yousafzai sooo-accurately called it, is the most-fundamental, among humans, babboons, & chimps.
All the others are add-on.
but, fundamentally, narcissism has no inherent-"limit" or "brake" to prevent it from othering ALL.

I like the concept of fascism as essentially militarised narcissism, although I think it risks oversimplification. There's also the risk that we consider the two equivalent and start to empathise with fascists (a choice) similar to how we should with narcissists (a mental illness).
There's similar risk in highlighting misogyny as a proto-bigotry, or template for bigotry. All we can say is that misogyny seems to be the most common irrational prejudice. Claiming others are add-ons or based upon it is not rigorous, and would suggest that misogyny is special in some way. In this way a hierarchy of bigotries begins to emerge, which is complete nonsense, except to examine their rate of occurrence. Precise language is extremely important on this point, else we appear to be saying misogyny is the "best" type of oppression.
I agree that narcissism has no brake, another parallel with fascism, and that is because both modes of thought are devoid of reasoning! However, there is the interesting phenomenon of the narcissistic collapse, where the narcissist can no longer maintain their self image and is forced to see themselves clearly.
